COLUMBUS, Nov.s. The day opened foggy.
with every appearance Of rain. but by 10
o'clock the sun was shining as bright rs 1t has
been nearly every day for the past month. All
over the city the voters pressed forward eager
to get their ballots deposited, and by noon
more than two-thirds OF the $4,000 registered
voters had exercised the freemen's right. The
new law. which compels a space Of 100 feet in
front OF the polls to be kept clear. worked ad-
mirably. A pole and little red flag
marked this spot, and the ticket holders.
ward strikers, and bummers could not
modest nor make afraid any voter
within this sacred circle. The four State tickets
viz, Republican. Democratic, Labor. and
Prohibition-were placed on table. and the
citizen could select the ticket he wished to
vote. and walk up quietly and give It to the
Judge OF election. There was no electioneer-
ing, .bulldozing. or soliciting Of any kind. The
election was fair. free. and full. and words Of
praise are heard on every side for the Regstra-
ton law. This law is not general In Ohio. ap-
plying only to tho five cities Of Cincinnati,
Cleveland. Columbus Dayton. and Toledo.

ceiyed show that Foraker has carried the
county by o majority Of possibly 5000. Some
estimates place II higher. This. In considera-
ton OF the reports current during the day that
Powell was receiving Union Labor votes, would
justify the conclusion that the entire county
ticket Of the Republicans is elected.
One hundred and fifty out Of POI precincts In
Hamilton county show Foraker leading Powell
by 5000 plurality. 1t is claimed that the re-
mainder Of the Republican ticket will have
much larger majorities In the county.
Scattering returns from the eighty eight
counties in Ohio show Democratic and kepub-
lican gnins. but the Republican gains over
shadow those of tho Democrats. II tho same
ratio Of gains keep up Foraker.will have 10000
plurality.
